Atmosphere

↑Cyclone risk diminishing from February levels: March is still within the cyclone season but statistically the risk is reducing — the transition period suits those with genuine schedule flexibility
↑Budget resort pricing: March is cheaper than the dry season months by 25–35%, and the lower occupancy means personalised service at even the larger Mamanuca resorts
↑Island transfers reopening: boat and seaplane services that ran reduced schedules in January–February begin to normalise, making the Yasawas and outer islands more accessible

↓241mm of rain: still a very wet month — Nadi and the western side of Viti Levu receive heavy rainfall, though the eastern and interior areas are generally drier
↓5.5 hours of sunshine: cloud cover is persistent and diving visibility is still affected by wet-season runoff in coastal areas
↓The shoulder season gap: not cheap enough to be the budget month of choice, not dry enough to be a confident weather choice
